Moving to New York City and attending Baruch has been both a blessing and a curse. New York City is everything I could have imagined it to be. There is always something to do and you learn something new everyday just from walking the streets. From a midwesterners perspective, I was “living the dream.” Likewise, the people at Baruch are awesome. I’ve made lifelong friends and coming to school each day is not a dread because I like the atmostphere. Baruch reminds me a lot of New York City as a whole; there is a lot of diversity and way too many people in a small area. However, moving here and attending Baruch made me realize how much I miss my friends and family in Missouri though and that New York city might not be “living the dream” for me.
I dorm here and live on the 9th floor of my building. I was always told that New York City is the city that never sleeps but I didn’t realize the capacity of this quote until I experienced it….every night. Somehow the noise from people, cars, construction, and emergency vehicles travels up to my room at ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT. In Missouri, you can literally here the birds chirping in the morning so this was a big change to get used to. Now, I’m pretty sure I can sleep through anything but it was a big adjustment, along with living on my own and moving to a city where I knew nobody. My time at Baruch has caused me to grow up and I would not change my time or experience here for anything.
